We all know that peanut butter and jam are meant to be together, but who knew this common household spread worked wonders with a pair of nail clippers too? This has got to be one of the most innovative tricks for trimming a dog’s nails we’ve ever seen!

The trick? When Fido needs his next manicure, grab your trusty jar of peanut butter and smear some on your refrigerator door. Your pup will instantly be attracted to the sight of delicious nutty flavour readily available at his level, and while he’s busy licking it up you are free to zip around and trim his nails! Brilliant!

It is important that a dog remains calm when having his nails tended to, as one small slip can result in a painful experience. So a nutty distraction is a great way to direct his attention away from his paws and create positive association with the whole process. Plus, your fridge will be nice and clean too!
